Funding Opportunity Announcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $15 million in federal funding to make clean hydrogen a more available and affordable fuel for electricity generation, industrial decarbonization, and transportation. Specifically, the funding opportunity will support research and development projects that convert feedstocks—such as coal, biomass, petcoke, household waste, industrial wastes, and waste plastics—into synthesis gas, also known as syngas, to enable the low-cost production of clean hydrogen. The use of low-carbon fuels like clean hydrogen will help achieve the Biden-Harris Administration goal of a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
Hydrogen gas pipeline
NETL has released two innovative cost models designed to calculate the expenses associated with transporting pure hydrogen using new pipelines and natural gas blended with hydrogen through existing natural gas pipelines. These critical tools will help stakeholders involved in the burgeoning hydrogen economy make better-informed decisions that contribute to the nation’s decarbonization goals.

Request for information
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has released a Request for Information (RFI) that seeks input to assist DOE in the planning of a consortium that will coordinate carbon dioxide (CO2) transport research, development and demonstration (RD&D) efforts.

Funding Opportunity Announcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $15 million in federal funding to support research and development (R&D) projects that help reduce methane emissions and other harmful environmental impacts from undocumented orphaned oil and natural gas wells. The focus is on projects that advance cost-effective technologies toward commercialization that address characterization, advanced remediation techniques, and long-term monitoring of undocumented orphaned wells. These technology innovations will help to further the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal to cut methane emissions by 30% compared with 2020 levels by 2030.
